High Water Lochsa, 2009 - 9 ft. (IV)

We caught the Lochsa at 9 ft. on May 31, 2009. The Lochsa at high water is an incredibly fun time, albeit a bit rowdy and a little out of control. The surfing is awesome at high water with big, catch on the fly waves that just keep coming. For logistical information, see the original Lochsa post at the bottom of the page.

Welcome to Montana Eddy Hop

An informational site about Montana area rivers and whitewater recreational opportunities. Our blog space contains information about various area rivers and experiences we've had exploring Montana and surrounding area whitewater. The links to the left lead to blogs on some of our favorite area rivers and we'll be adding more throughout the seasons (click on the river names in green to access descriptions of the runs). We hope you'll explore our site and let us know what you think by leaving comments. If you don't find the river or creek you are looking for, keep scrolling down or check the blog archive below on the right hand side. Most of all, have fun out there and remember, safety first! For more detailed information about Montana area rivers, check out www.americanwhitewater.org, and consider joining this great organization dedicated to the protection of America's whitewater resources. The Montana Surf guidebook is another great resource for Montana area paddling as well.
